The Prog. Age VS., Pure Water.

We were surprised to read in the Prog. Age
Of last week that approximations had been eX-
cited in regard TO the purity of our present
water supply. This will be news to every one
who i, ut all informed in the matter. There
has never been any question to the purity Of
the water in Cold Brook, nor as to that which
comes down the main stream from the Shaw
and Edgccomb springs. The only apprchen-
SION was As to contamination from the salt Wa
ter and ;lluvial deposits in the bed of the main
reservoir. These have happily been avoided
and the pure wafer ircm Cold Brook is now
